Ratings & Reviews for Cabot DeckCorrect Allagash Solid Exterior Wood Stain and Sealer in One ( 5-gallon )

Doesn't last

We bought this product for our front porch and back deck May 31, 2025. We followed all of the instructions to apply this. It seems to be holding up on our front porch (which is covered) but as of April 4, 2026, it's already peeling on the back deck. This was a lot of work, and we put in a lot of effort to make sure we followed the instructions so it's really disappointing to have it peeling in less than a year.

Deck stain/protection

Just as described

Horrible color

The tiny paint chip (smaller than a dime) represented dark grey. Now that it’s dry, it’s a pukey blue. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON CABOT. I will NEVER buy it again. There’s a BIG DIFFERENCE between gray and blue.

For the price, it’s not that great. Like thick paint. And, I was hoping it would have a pop-up spout on the lid. It’s hard for an old guy to pour out of a five gallon can without making a mess. How much would a pop-up lid cost the company, $2. I would be willing to pay the extra, just to keep from getting it everywhere . And as far as it filling 1/4 inch cracks. Not even close. Quicker to just caulk or putty them.

Staining

Haven’t fully used this yet, but looks like a great product

Easy to apply and adheres to surface evenly.

Excellent product!! We used deckover previously, and it lasted only 2 years. A friend recommended deckcorrect by Cabot, and we applied it three years ago, and it looks as good as new. So we applied it a new deck around hot tub, and its perfect.

Great product for any exterior structure!!!

Used on a year old deck of treated wood, great product!!

Price

it's a good product at a good price

Wrong color sent

Ordered 1 gallon of Cabot solid color acrylic stain+sealer and received a neutral base color. I would like a replacement. Thank you

Online ordering

We ordered deck stain online to be tinted, chose the color, and it was delivered. We purchased it for our pier, an hour drive away. We opened it to discover it had not been tinted. It wouldn’t have been so bad, had it not happened before. We bought a 5 gal bucket online to be tinted, got to the lake and discovered it was not tinted. This is completely unacceptable! Both times when we returned it to be tinted, we were met with “gee, I’m sorry”. Once is a mistake, twice is a problem. Both “mistake...

5 stars to the Product 3 stars to the associates.

Ordered tinted deck sealer and they tried to give me untinted base. I am handicapped and had it brought out to car, and had to get out and go inside to get it tinted. The associate at the paint mixing booth thought it an inconvenience to have to mix my paint. I had to show my receipt even tho it was labeled on the can with my name on it as well.

Works Great

I needed to paint and seal my deck and porch, and this deck correct took care of all my needs together, and there were plenty of options for color.

Worked Great for an Old Deck

Bought a house that had a freshly painted deck, but was not done properly and it peeled terribly within a year. Pressure washed all of the loose paint off of the deck, let it dry, and used this on all boards, railings, and steps. It has held up for two years now. I was almost to the point of replacing the deck, but this has significantly extended its life. Would use it again.
